What is airtime?

Airtime is simply another term used to describe the talk-time or mobile credit you need to send texts, make calls and use data on a prepaid mobile phone. Two-thirds of the world’s 4.5 billion mobile phones are prepaid phones, which means users need airtime to use them. Most of that airtime is bought through scratch cards or electronic pin numbers, but our service allows you to transfer airtime to a phone in Nigeria using a computer, tablet or smartphone.

What is Etisalat?

Etisalat is a mobile phone network based in the UAE that provides telecommunications around the world and is one of the most widely used networks in Nigeria. The network known as Etisalat Nigeria has recently had a name change and is now called 9Mobile, but our ability to transfer airtime to this network quickly, safely and securely remains the same.
